Yes, my original post, I posted the error message from emacs:
-*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/Documents/James Music/
Choral Music/Dad/Litany/" -*-
Compilation started at Mon Sep 8 15:24:38
lilypond /Users/jamesebailey/Documents/James Music/Choral Music/Dad/
Litany/Litany.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.11.57
warning: cannot find file: `/Users/jamesebailey/Documents/James'
warning: cannot find file: `Music/Choral'
warning: cannot find file: `Music/Dad/Litany/Litany.ly'
error: failed files: "Music/Dad/Litany/Litany.ly Music/Choral /Users/
jamesebailey/Documents/James"
There you can see that it's not escaping the filename correctly.
I just wish someone with a little elisp help could point me toward the
part of whichever file determines how the file is processed in emacs
so I could learn enough to be able to add " " to it.

Ah. I use a binary, not a script. I actually build lilypond, I'm on

I just wanted to make sure it isn't the 'lilypond' part. One other
test is to type
lilypond 'foo bar'
If spaces are passed on correctly, then one gets
GNU LilyPond <version>
warning: cannot find file: `foo bar'
error: failed files: "foo bar"
that is, it reports only one file in the error. (If spaces are
passed on wrongly, then one gets:
GNU LilyPond <version>
warning: cannot find file: `foo'
warning: cannot find file: `bar'
error: failed files: "bar foo"
reporting two files.)
